A nonstandard proof of de Finetti's theorem
Abstract: We give a nonstandard analytic proof of de Finetti's theorem for an exchangeable sequence of Bernoulli random variables. The theorem postulates that such a sequence is uniquely representable as a mixture of iid sequences of Bernoulli random variables. We use combinatorial arguments to show that this probability distribution is induced by a hyperfinite sample mean.
